Hello!
Thank you for contacting me! I will be in touch with you as soon as time allows.
What does “as soon as as time allows” mean?
I am just one person and do not have an assistant, volunteers, interns, or other staff. Due to everything that life entails, I receive a large amount of communication on a daily basis. As I am disabled, I live on crip time ↗.
Being on crip time means I must prioritize my health. This sometimes means that there will be messages I am unable to reply to at all, and other messages may take weeks to receive a response. Time-frame and response are all dependent upon my capacity as my available time, energy, and cognition are all limited by my activities of daily living ↗ as an impoverished disabled person in a world that is neither friendly, welcoming, nor accessible to poverty and disability ↗.
If you are trying to reach me about something that is time-sensitive or otherwise urgent, I encourage you to re-contact me with a phone number, which I will text. I generally have more capacity for voice and video communication than I do for written communication. When using video chat services (such as Signal, Skype, and Zoom), I welcome having our cameras turned off, I enable auto-captioning where available, and I encourage the use of text, voice, interpreters as desired/needed. (Please note that I am unable to provide interpreters or CART.)
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and gentle acceptance of my boundaries, limitations, and needs.
